Predictive maintenance tools FAQ

Common Questions

FPA’s tools portfolio includes vibration analyzers and balancers, motor and electrical testing systems, ultrasound detectors, vibration sensors, FLIR thermal imaging cameras, IRISS inspection solutions, mobile enterprise technology and Luneta oil sight glasses.

Often, yes. Permanent monitoring is valuable for continuous awareness, but portable analyzers are still useful for advanced troubleshooting, phase analysis, run-up and coast-down testing, balancing and other diagnostic measurements that require a technician at the machine.

The right technology depends on the equipment, likely failure modes and inspection objective. Vibration is commonly used for rotating machinery, ultrasound can support leak, bearing and electrical inspections, and thermography is effective for identifying abnormal heat patterns. Many reliability programs use more than one technology.

Yes. FPA also provides predictive maintenance training, condition-monitoring services and reliability support, allowing tool selection to be connected with field application and workforce development.
